answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2019 answer text <p>On 18 July 2019 the Independent Expert Advisory Panel (IAEP) issued an advice note to building owners. In this advice note the IAEP states the following:</p><p> </p><p><em>“The view of the Expert Panel is that the level of risk from unsafe HPL systems is not as high a risk as unsafe systems using ACM Category 3 panels. Therefore, the Expert Panel remains clear that the immediate removal of unsafe systems using ACM Category 3 panels should be an absolute priority of focus for building owners and the sector, followed by immediate action to remediate unsafe HPL systems. For the avoidance of doubt both the removal of unsafe ACM Category 3 panels and action to remediate unsafe HPL systems should be carried out as soon as possible.”</em></p><p> </p><p>The full advice note is available at <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fuploads%2Fsystem%2Fuploads%2Fattachment_data%2Ffile%2F818184%2FAdvice_note_on_use_of_HPL_panels_in_external_wall_systems.pdf&amp;data=02%7C01%7CCharles-Elie.Romeyer%40communities.gov.uk%7C3985d5850bdf4c4a8cc708d70e7ede45%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C636993810367162667&amp;sdata=FT2Xkf%2BNFfUXmD%2F0%2FWdxtvozJg4d3KitxBTL5UxkccY%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/818184/Advice_note_on_use_of_HPL_panels_in_external_wall_systems.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 23/07/2019 15:23:40 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2019 answer text <p>The department does not collect information on the number of sexual offences committed on university campuses. The responsibility for this, and for meeting legal obligations, lies with individual higher education (HE) providers.</p><p> </p><p>The government expects HE providers to keep records of incidents disclosed to them and act swiftly to investigate and address them. It is important to recognise that under-reporting is common and HE providers should continue to break down barriers to reporting by ensuring that students and staff feel safe and are able to disclose sexual misconduct.</p><p> </p><p>The government takes all forms of sexual harassment extremely seriously. Therefore, the government is working closely with Universities UK (UUK) and the Office for Students (OfS) to support work to address sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination in HE institutions. This includes implementation of the UUK’s sexual violence and harassment taskforce’s recommendations on handling of reports and disclosures, as well as enabling accurate data to be captured to determine the scale of the problem and track year on-year trends.</p><p> </p><p>The government expects HE providers to take these recommendations seriously. Furthermore, the government has tasked the OfS to support this work. The OfS have invested £2.45 million in projects tackling sexual harassment, including supporting the development and improvement of reporting procedures.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 23/07/2019 16:43:01 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
